Colin Calloway uses the prism of George Washington's life to bring focus to the great Native leaders of his time and the tribes they represented: the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek, Delaware; in the process, he returns them to their rightful place in the story of America's founding. The Indian World of George Washington spans decades of Native American leaders' interactions with Washington, from his early days as surveyor of Indian lands to his military career against both the French and the British to his presidency.

Good and evenly yoked.

The author took into account the time in which Washington lived and did not pass judgment on him for today's moral standards. He was fair in his portrayal of the good and the bad. He was able to show growth of Washington from his overly ambitious youth to his ability to use caution via his experience with age.
Best of all, as a Native American myself, it was surprisingly refreshing to hear my ancestors names spoke in their tongue and tied to their "Christian' names. Genealogies and other historical writings often only use the Christian names after the mid-1700's. Both families and history has forgotten who the Native Americans were that help formed this Nation.
